The Deepest Love As I sit here with my thoughts, I ponder all the things in my life All of the things that have come and gone, and the things that might be The past, oh the past, so much to reflect on There were troubles and triumphs, victories and losses Laughter and tears, comforts and fears Time - time flows so quickly, but never easily As the past rapidly merges with the present then soon with the future But through all that has happened or will happen, there is one thing One thing only that will stand out among all of the deeds of time Love! Through all of the hurts of life, Love can prevail to comfort the soul Even in times of great joy, Love only magnifies the moment Love is a giving friend in times when you're all alone It can bring a smile to your face when you're feeling down Love is life! Love has touched me and inspired my very soul and spirit Love has a face so friendly and familiar So recognizable, sweet, gentle, and kind; and yes, oh so beautiful There are two who have made me to feel this Love The one, is someone special who has won my heart The other, is my Loving Creator who has shown me what Love is The Love that I feel is not of my own, but was placed inside of me By the warm, secure embrace of my God Almighty His Love is what inspires me, it's what drives me toward my goal Of being intertwined with one of His own, giving my all to her Not knowing where I begin and she ends; that's the closeness I seek Being of one flesh and in one accord; that's my earthly goal When I think of her, inspiration overflows in my spirit Because the Love of God consumes her, sending her to new heights I dream of Love, I hope for Love, I patiently wait for Love Dear God, thank you for the Love that You bestowed unto my soul For the Deepest Love of all is Your Holy Love for me And the Love that is now in my heart for her which You bring Thank you Lord, I Love You! Written by Marc Corliss 1997 *Footnote: When I wrote this poem back in 1997 I felt that it was not only a poem but also me prophesying about what it was that I wanted in regards to a future wife although at the time I was alone. It is very personal to me but I felt that it would be good to share it here with the rest of my poems that God has given me.
